Which means it CAN'T be the definition of the criteria for the Halting Problem. So, you are just ADMITTING that you are LYING about working on the ACTUAL halting problem, but are just trying to fabricate a new Olcott-Halting Problem, based on Olcott-Halting that no one else cares about. > > The semantics of the x86 language conclusively proves as a verified > fact that the behavior that D specifies to H is different than the > behavior that D specifies to H1. Nope. Which instruction, correctly simulated was different between the "Correct simulation by H" and the actual execution. It seems, as I best understand your claim, that will you claim to be actually simulating the actual x86 instructions, your "Correct Simulation" somehow knows that the call H shouldn't actually simulate the x86 instructions that it goes to, but instead, act like the effective results of the function you want H to be. THAT is NOT "Correct x86 simulation", or correct simulation of any form. The key point is that even just a functional simulation need the simulation of H(D,D) to do the same thing that H(D,D) does, which in this case is to return 0. > > You cannot simply correctly ignore that the pathological relationship > that D calls H(D,D) and does not call H1(D,D) changes the behavior of > D between these two cases. > But that relationship doesn't affect what a correct simulation is. It might make it IMPOSSIBLE for H to completely correctly simulate its input, or prove that such a simulation will actually go on forever, but it doesn't change what a correct simulation is.
